There'll be more of a return to the 'modern day' setting in Assassin's Creed moving forward, says Ubisoft. Assassin's Creed: Unity only had brief moments through cutscenes where we weren't assuming the role of an ancestral assassin.

Lead writer Darby McDevitt pointed to Assassin's Creed 2 and the town of Monteriggioni, which was playable in both past and present, and so they plan to "smartly reuse things" for a modern experience.

It's possible we have a name for a new Assassin's Creed title in the works at Ubisoft after a document shows a spread of promotional work, but it's also possible this was the name internally for Black Flag.

The reason this could amount to nothing is because the 'Golden Age' is likely referring to the 'golden age of piracy' that was the main theme of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The images are also 'piratey'.

The final 'last-gen only' Assassin's Creed game is on the way to PC and the German classification board has slapped a 16 rating on it. Assassin's Creed Rogue takes place between Black Flag and Assassin's Creed III.

It was originally announced as only for Xbox 360 and PS3, with rather vague shrugs from Ubisoft as to whether it would also hit desktops. New trailers confirm it's out on PC "early 2015".
